Assessment

Primary outcomes

Technical success rate on the day of the initial salvage procedure (Successful biliary cannulation within the first session)

Key secondary outcomes

1) Cumulative success rate of the step-by-step salvage strategy
2) Technical success rate of each individual salvage procedure (precut papillotomy, EUS-RV)
3) Incidence of adverse events, including post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP)
4) Procedure time for each salvage technique and total procedure time to final success
